Living with a children's author isn't as easy as it looks!

1. Couch-Nap – I like a good couch-nap. When Mom leaves me alone, the couch is my napping area of choice. Also the floor, my bed, the rocking chair,

and the butterfly rug in the bathroom.

2. Street-Nap – In the summer the asphalt in my neighborhood gets blazing hot. Those are the perfect days for a street-nap. I lie on my belly and my side and sometimes I flip over and squiggle around like a wiggly worm.

Aaahhhh…

3. Laziness – Mom has been kind of lazy lately. She hasn’t been sitting at her computer and talking to herself! That means no writing in a few days. I thought she was a “full-time” writer. This week, she’s been a writer at rest.

Z-z-z-z-z-…

4. Excuses – She makes excuses like, “I have an appointment.” and “I’m swamped. It’s a super-busy day.” and “How can I write if you drink all my coffee?” I can make excuses, too. “You left your cup right where I can reach it.”

and “I couldn’t decide which toy to play with.”

and “I was lonely eating in the kitchen by myself.”

5. Back-on-the-horse – Yesterday, Mom sat at her computer and said she was getting back on the horse. I have never seen a horse. Mom saw one in Manhattan and showed me the picture. It looked like a big dog. A really, really, REALLY big dog. I hope she doesn’t love that big guy more than she loves me.

hahaha Cupcake it was a pleasure to watch your videos! I bet now your mom has many good ideas for new stories and her winged horse will gallop like the wind. Hi-yo Silver! have a wonderful friday and please be careful while taking a nap on the street.

Ha, this is the second post on my reader about napping. I think you guys are sending me a sign for how to recover from my trip. Time to hit the couch with my dog-pillow, Eko. Hope we can reach your expert level napping skills.

Your videos made me chuckle. Plus-cute!!
I can’t believe mom was not writing! Get out of the city!!! You need to get on board and keep her in line. If that means no coffee for you and more for her, so be it! Sacrifice if you must, for love of mom. (Hmmmmm)
Anyway, horses. They are an awesome sight and you’d probably poo your drawers if you stood up next to one but they are cool. Not as cool as dogs though. I heard just yesterday that long ago when firetrucks were pulled by horses, dalmatians used to run alongside of them to keep them moving because the fires used to scare the horses. Now. Who is more brave? The horse or the dog? Think about it. 😉
Hugs and more hugs…

Thanks, G. I have spots like a Dalmatian, so maybe I would be brave near a horse…. Nah. That’s crazy-talk. You’re right. I’d be petrified. You know more about the “love of mom” than anybody these days, so I I’ll take your advice and try not to steal Mom’s coffee. But I can’t make any promises if she has cookies.

Oh Cupcake, there’s no way your Mom could love ANYBODY or ANYTHING as much as she loves you – especially not that great big dog-horse thing (which is scary!). As for naps – you know me – I’m a napper from way back. I’ve perfected my technique all these years. See you tomorrow at the pawty!

Oh, I can see are such a contented and loved little furry Cupcake. I love watching the videos and see you play and run around. Simba and I love our naps as well and you must tell mom the laziness is okay for a while. hahahahaah. I see you love your coffee as well. Simba does too. He shares his with me in the mornings. 😆

Oh Cupcake those videos are adorable!!! and I was close to tears at the sadness of a little gal bringing her dinner in to be with mum …..really pulls at the heart strings…you got it all Cupcake….pretty sure mum loves you best !!! hugs Fozziemum xx

Good for your mom for getting back on the horse. I’d say she should get back on the pig next time and I’ll take her for a squealing ride of invigorating delight that will provide for some great material and no chance for laziness or excuses. Wait, who am I kidding? I’d just squeal away in horror and go bury down in my own lazy excuses covered in blankets 🙂

Cupcake, you would soooooo luvluvluv hanging out with my next door neighbor…Miss Gabby..if you have time…drop over to my bloggy on Monday to see her…you two would rock the canine world for sure; play bows, Savannah

Wow, what an energy, Cupcake. Love to see you running from one couch to another, with so much spirit. And bringing your bowl to eat with you Mom…well, that was quite endearing. Now, let’s try to get that big dog to purr 😉 Pawkiss 🙂

[…] love trash, especially when one of her stories ends up in the trash bin on her computer. If she starts a story and then gets stuck, she sets it aside for a while, works on other things, and then goes […]
